J&K: Army rejects Shehla Rashid's allegations on situation in Kashmir

The Indian Army on Sunday rejected Jammu and Kashmir People's Movement leader Shehla Rashid's allegations regarding situation in Jammu and Kashmir and termed them "baseless".

"Allegations levelled by Shehla Rashid are baseless and rejected. Such unverified and fake news are spread by inimical elements and organisations to incite unsuspecting population," the Army stated.

In a series of tweets, Rashid had on Sunday said, "People are saying that Jammu and Kashmir Police has no authority on law and order situation. They have been rendered powerless. Everything is in the hands of paramilitary forces. One SHO was transferred on complaint of a CRPF man. SHOs carrying batons. Service revolvers can't be seen on them."

Some of the things that people coming from Kashmir say about the situation:

1) Movement within Srinagar and to neighbouring districts is more or less permitted. Local press is restricted.

2) Cooking gas shortage has started to set in. Gas agencies are closed.
